day 6: sunshine all the time + anytime asparagus

This lovely side always brings a little sunshine to a cold, dreary day. Though I can’t take credit for this one … After all, I always thought asparagus was a my way or the highway type veggie. Grilled. Steamed. Boiled and grey. Anne Burrell gave me some inspiration and taught me a trick or two. The key here is to remember that green should stay GREEN. Do not serve your guests, your children or your worst enemy overcooked vegetables (they will resent you for it – as they should). Oh, and in this case salt is most certainly your ally.

Serve this as a side dish, an add-on to your favorite salad (mine is baby kale with pickled beets & goat cheese), or all alone (with a sprinkle of fresh reggiano). You won’t regret adding this one to your arsenal. Mark my words!
